My nephew has become my niece

Does one send a card or what?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

1. Just love and support her

[FM123]

2. Yes. I bet she would love a card from you telling her how much she means to you always.

3. I think I would send her a necklace with her new name on it (if she changed her name) and

send it with lots of love and tell her you are proud of her 💞💖💕

6. with a small ruby

since that is July's birth stone,

7. That's a good idea

Other major life changes have some kind of formal acknowledgment, this should, too.

[Glorfindel]

4. I would.

I imagine a gesture of love and support would be greatly appreciated.

5. I believe I would be happy for them & I hope, supportive. But, I won't suggest it isn't difficult

for everyone to adjust/readjust.

I would send a personal note expressing your love for them, acceptance, and perhaps an acknowledgment that you recognize the depth of the adjustment that will occur for all but that you hope your support is not in doubt.

8. Try Etsy

There are several people on Etsy who have cards for transgender folx. I think that it would be a very nice gesture for your niece to show that you support her.

One example: https://www.etsy.com/listing/890396382/trans-love-greeting-card-support?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=transgender+cards&ref=sr_gallery-1-38&etp=1

9. Send a card.

Send a text, or call. Tell her you love her.

[marble falls]

10. Always been your niece. Just official now. Love her, support her, she'll appreciate you for that.

[applegrove]

11. Send a letter. And be thankful she can be who she is her whole life.

[Niagara]

12. Yes.

A card with words of support, strength and love will never hurt anyone.


Also, perhaps a gift card for some clothing or makeup. It doesn't have too expensive, just a little something.
